Now that you've done a few miles with the 5 speed can you give us an update on how well it suits the grey motor and which diff ratio did you end up using?
Thanks in advance

Re: Underway - 5-Speed Conversion
SORRY GUYS!!
Updates have been slack....catching up on work this week. I will throw up my photos this week...(probably Friday)
Runs great, drove to Angelsea from Melbourne on the weekend. Freeway much more fun, but steering is bad, so rebuild for that next.
Main issue is the new gearbox sits quite low under the car, and my car is reasonably low....hit the new x-member once on the weekend but did have 6 people in the car and a large kurb to deal with..!
Getting used to the extra gears. Diff ratio will be fine I think. going from 3 - 5 gears is quite a change.
